Uhhh duhhh the line can always go up. Eventually humanity will be 1 trillion humans plus and the world will be a better place. We have no limit to our progress. Even if base physics give us a technological limit.
Once we have 1 trillion humans, we'll be able to build entire computers that are smaller than a single proton. This is a fact. And we need to get to that point because once it happens everyone will be better off.
Just look at India. Its massive population has produce the most efficient, hardest working, and smartest people on the planet and look at their country. Its a panacea of wealth and influence that everyone strives towards. That is why Indians come to the west. Because they want to introduce the west to their supreme living standards.
Once we are 1 trillion humans we will be exploring the cosmos. We will have humans on other planets like proxima centauri B that is 4.2 lightyears. Because once we have 1 trillion humans we will have devised a way to travel at the speed of light (desu this is too slow because the relative time taken to reach the planet might seem fast for the people travelling their, we here on earth still have to wait 4.2 years + return time just to receive any input from them. But at 10 trillion humans we will have developed faster than light travel. Which btw is not time travel. Its actually an easy hurdle we can circumvent.) The more humans that exist on earth. Means the more technological progress we have. Which means the more happy humans who exist. Once we get to 1 quadrillion humans poverty will no longer exist. This is a fact. We will have discovered a method in which to simply divine material directly from energy. We will still have to throw out the vast majority of food you see at the grocery store but that is besides the point.
